in Chit-Chat
I am definitely a pro-ink kind of girl. I have one on the back of my neck and am planning number two -- a memorial tattoo for my dad who passed away last year.

My hubby is pretty much covered and I LOVE them :) A man with quality ink is SOOOO sexy IMO.

    I have 2, the evanescence logo on my outter right wrist and a lady bug fairy on my left inside forearm for my daughter with her name under it. I have a few more planned (like a butterfly on my left outter wrist for my grandma, she collected butterfly stuff). My fiance is pretty covered. He's got 19 (with at least 4 more I know of planned) and they aren't small ones either. Smallest ones are the 2 on the back of his hands and his knuckles. Which the knuckles he counts as one. I agree a inked man is a sexy man. As long as they are good tatts and not ****ty home ones.

    I adore tattoos! I want them and I love them on others, I like how people can put stories on themselves like that

    I like them, and want one, but too much of a chicken butt to actually go through with it. That and can't really justify the expense either.

    Definite NO!! I think they look disgusying on anyone. I was driving home last week and stopped at zebra crossing to let a lady cross with her young kids. She looked lovely nice summer knee length dress just looked really nice then I saw her leg....aarrgghh a vine going up her shin.....totally ruined the look.

    Why ruin your beautiful skin with ink! Sorry you did ask!

    oooh YES!!! of course.There are so many bad tattoos out there though and tbh you'd be better off not bothering. I love pieces of art well positioned. Some seriously talented tattoo artists out there too. I hate colour ones on guys. Black and white all the way. My gift to my 40pound lighter self will be a thigh tattoo.

    Definite yay. Have two which make up a total of 11 hours work. Wouldn't change them for the world they are little peices of art completely unique to me and I wear them proudly. :)

    Love them! Unfortunately don't have any yet because of being chronically broke, but I'm hoping for one before the end of year. I wouldn't get heavily inked because I might be studying to be a teacher, but I think tattoos can be very beautiful. An old college professor of mine had full sleeve tattoos, which I thought was ballsy for a working scientist. She was pretty brilliant.

    I have one. A paw print on my ankle that's no bigger than a quarter. I love animals and was a vet tech pre kids. I'll never get another one. Hubby HATES them and almost divorced me over it. NO lie!

    Most definitely a yay for me.

    I have 6, one of which is a half sleeve. It needs to be finished, but I have to wait until my race season this year is done before getting more color done on it. The only one of mine that you can see when I'm at work is my half sleeve, but even that can be hidden with the right shirt.

    My husband has 5, two of which are half sleeves. His 6th will be coming soon.

    Yay! I have seven, and several more planned. I think a well-executed tattoo on both men and women are sexy. There are a LOT of bad tattoos though.

    I like them but just can't justify spending the money on myself. Too many other things I'd rather spend it on.

    No. NO. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!! I don't even like them on men...

    I really do think they are unfeminine. My gorgeous niece has about four or five and, even though they are (relatively) discreet and a pretty design or quotation, I can't help but think they are intrusive and that, when she's older (she's 30!) she is going to regret them.

    <shudder> :sick:
